What better way to say ‘thank you’ to our military than to offer the Veterans Homeownership for the Brave Program?

This program is offered “in appreciation and recognition of our Tennessee military families…. THDA is proud to serve those that have served Tennessee and our country”. Qualified members of the US Military, National Guard, veterans and spouses can all benefit from this program.

Why should a Veteran chose a THDA loan when they could obtain a VA loan? Although the Great Rate program is currently close to the market rate for VA loans, the market rates have been rising. If a Veteran gets a VA loan closed through the Great Rate (Currently 4.75%) program they are getting a loan at 4.25 with the 50 basis point discount. That’s a half a point less in rate and almost $50/month less on a $150,000 purchase price!

The VA loan is a 100% program so why would I use THDA? If you’re buying a home and the seller is unable to offer concessions for closing costs you can obtain 4% from THDA to pay for the closing costs.

Would you like to buy a home with very little out of pocket cost? One of the best kept secrets in the real estate industry is HUD Homes– for sale at www.hudhomestore.com. HUD Homes are also known as FHA foreclosures and are properties that the owner defaulted on their mortgage.

Currently there are over 120 HUD Foreclosures in Nashville, TN that are eligible to be purchased with $100 down. Homebuyers (this is not limited to First-Time Homebuyers) can buy a home with as little as $100 assuming they get HUD to pay their closing costs. There are almost 100 HUD Foreclosures available to purchase for less $100,000. Homes selling for $70,000-$100,000 could be financed at $560-$810/month. Unlike other homes that may require repairs before closing. HUD will allow you to finance the repair costs for up to 90 days. The repair funds will be dispersed once the repairs are completed.

Purchasing a HUD Foreclosure is a great option for low income homebuyers. A First-Time homebuyer can use Tennessee Housing and Development Agency financing and actually close on a home and possibly get their earnest money deposit back. At any given time, you may find HUD foreclosures in Nashville TN eligible to be purchased 50% off the list price through the Good Neighbor Next Door sales program. HUD will provide a silent second mortgage allowing a public servant (i.e. law enforcement officer, firefighter, or school teacher) to purchase a HUD Foreclosure in Nashville at 50% off the list price. If the homebuyer lives in the home 3 years the second mortgage is forgiven and does not need to be repaid.

If you would like to view a HUD foreclosure you’ll need to contact a local realtor. If you need a realtor you can contact me I can refer you to a couple realtors that I have worked with that understand the HUD REO offer and bid process.
